To use this hoodie, simply put it on like any other hoodie. It's great for wearing during Christmas activities. When it comes to maintenance, you can machine - wash it in cold water. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the fabric. Hang it to dry instead of using a dryer to keep its shape. Also, keep in mind that while it's cat - resistant, don't let your cat scratch at it too aggressively for long periods to maintain its durability.
